Elementos para la gestión de la conservación, manejo y aprovechamiento del Pino Azul (Pinus maximartinezii Rzed.) en Juchipila, Zacatecas, México

Management, use and conservation of natural resources have been done without considering some important social factors. Specifically, in the case of Martinez pinyon (Pinus maximartinezii Rzed.) in Zacatecas, property owners with this native species should be directly responsible for its conservation. This work defines the bases, so they can take the main role in management and better use of “pino azul” at Juchipila, Zacatecas, which has been listed as micro-endemic and subjected to special protection by the Mexican norm NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as endangered (EN). The National Commission of Protected Natural Areas (CONANP) is the agency that seeks to perform management and conservation actions with the support of the Conservation and Management Plan of the Protected Natural Area in the Watershed of the National Irrigation District (CADNR 043), specifically in the sub-basin of the Juchipila River and in connection with property owners of Martinez pinyon.
